A unified approach to the representations of groups SU(2) and SU(1, 1) is made. The method is based on the observation that SU(2) and SU(1, 1) can be considered as special cases of a group G(a). The representation of G(a) is realized in the space of homogeneous generalized functions. The canonical bases of the unitary irreducible representations are constructed explicitly. The matrix elements for the finite transformation are found. Explicit expressions for the Wigner coefficients are also obtained.

The matrix elements of operators transforming as irreducible representations of an unbroken symmetry group G are governed by the well-known Wigner–Eckart relations. In the case of infinite-dimensional systems, with G spontaneously broken, we prove that the corrections to such relations are provided by symmetry breaking Ward identities, and simply reduce to a tadpole term involving Goldstone bosons. The analysis extends to the case in which an explicit symmetry breaking term is present in the Hamiltonian, with the tadpole term now involving pseudo Goldstone bosons. An explicit example is discussed, illustrating the two cases.

The matrix elements of the linear Boltzmann collision operator are calculated in a Burnett-function basis determined by a weight function which itself describes a velocity distribution with a net drift and an anisotropic pressure (or temperature) tensor. Three different methods of calculation are described, leading to three different types of formulae. Two of these involve infinite summations, while the third involves only finite sums, but at the cost of greater complications in the summands and the integrals over cross sections. Both elastic and inelastic collisions are treated. Special cases arising from particular choices of the parameters in the weight functions are pointed out. The structure of the formulae is illustrated by means of diagrams. The work is a contribution towards establishing efficient methods of calculation based upon a better understanding of the matrix elements in such bases.

This paper is concerned with a general mathematical theory for finding the admittance matrix of a three-port non-uniform surface acoustic wave (SAW) network characterized bynunequal hybrid sections. The SAW interdigital transducer and its various circuit model representations are presented in some detail. The Transfer scattering matrix of a transducer consisting ofNnon-uniform sections modeled through the hybrid equivalent circuit is discussed. General expression of the scattering matrix elements for aN-section SAW network is included. Based upon hybrid equivalent circuit model of one electrode section, explicit formulas for the scattering and transfer scattering matrices of a SAW transducer are obtained. Expressions of the transfer scattering matrix elements for theN-section crossed-field and in-line model of SAW transducers are also derived as special cases. The matrix elements are computed in terms of complex frequency and thus allow for transient response determinations. It is shown that the general forms presented here for the matrix elements are suitable for the computer aided design of SAW transducers.


The formulae of Redmond are used to construct expressions for the fractional parentage coefficients relating the configurations l 3 and l 2 . The explicit occurrence of godparent states is avoided for the quartet states of f 3 and also for a sequence of doublet states. The latter are defined by the set of quantum numbers f 3 WUSLJJ 2 , where W and U are irreducible representations of the groups R 7 and G 2 . Matrix elements of the type ( f 3 WUSL || U k || f 3 W'U'SL' ), where U k is the sum of the three irreducible tensor operators u k corresponding to the three f electrons, are tabulated for k = 2, 4 and 6 and for all values of W, U, S and L .

AbstractExplicit formulae are given for calculating the matrix elements of the irreducible representations of the three-dimensional pure rotation group by the direct method. In addition explicit formulae are derived to calculate the representations of the finite elements of any group when the eigenvalues of the matrix representing the corresponding infinitesimal elements are given.

The so-called Gell–Mann or decontraction formula is proposed as an algebraic expression inverse to the Inönü–Wigner Lie algebra contraction. It is tailored to express the Lie algebra elements in terms of the corresponding contracted ones. In the case of sl (n,ℝ) and su (n) algebras, contracted w.r.t. so (n) subalgebras, this formula is generally not valid, and applies only in the cases of some algebra representations. A generalization of the Gell–Mann formula for sl (n,ℝ) and su (n) algebras, that is valid for all tensorial, spinorial, (non)unitary representations, is obtained in a group manifold framework of the SO(n) and/or Spin (n) group. The generalized formula is simple, concise and of ample application potentiality. The matrix elements of the [Formula: see text], i.e. SU(n)/SO(n), generators are determined, by making use of the generalized formula, in a closed form for all irreducible representations.

AbstractWe introduce a new approach to find the Tomita–Takesaki modular flow for multi-component regions in general chiral conformal field theory. Our method is based on locality and analyticity of primary fields as well as the so-called Kubo–Martin–Schwinger (KMS) condition. These features can be used to transform the problem to a Riemann–Hilbert problem on a covering of the complex plane cut along the regions, which is equivalent to an integral equation for the matrix elements of the modular Hamiltonian. Examples are considered.

Abstract We propose a matrix analogue of a general inverse series relation with an objective to introduce the generalized Humbert matrix polynomial, Wilson matrix polynomial, and the Rach matrix polynomial together with their inverse series representations. The matrix polynomials of Kiney, Pincherle, Gegenbauer, Hahn, Meixner-Pollaczek etc. occur as the special cases. It is also shown that the general inverse matrix pair provides the extension to several inverse pairs due to John Riordan [An Introduction to Combinatorial Identities, Wiley, 1968].
